If they don’t know you, they don’t necessarily interact much with you. At least I was the one who was willing to talk about it and the journey towards the solution, and so I ended up at a bunch of different events from very different communities. Yet, I solved problems that not that many people sometimes had solved before. It’s mostly like, what problem am I trying to solve? What’s the right tool to solve that problem? Then I picked from a palette of different technologies to solve the problem at hand. I have been this weird traveler between worlds, if you want to say, and I have worked with so many different technologies, and I realized that the technology doesn’t matter for me. One challenge that I usually face is that oftentimes, especially in the developer world, there are so hyper focused communities like the Angular community, the React community, the back end…I don’t know, the Ruby community, the Python community, the PHP community, and these communities are usually relatively closely knit and I have never been in one specific community only. Then I realized that that’s quite a fun one, I realized that it’s a fantastic icebreaker, because there’s a few challenges to you as a speaker going to events. Little did I know that there was a unicorn onesie available for me, so yeah. Martin: That began in Montreal… I can’t remember, was it like 2015 or something? It has been a while ago, when someone said, “ If I get you a unicorn onesie, will you do a talk in it ?” And I said “ Yes ” assuming that they couldn’t get a unicorn onesie, like on very, very short notice, because it was at the conference and my talk was basically the next day. What is the story behind the unicorn outfits? I like that you’ve got character, and I admire that. I got to ask, I got a hell of a kick out of some of your photos. I looked up a whole bunch of photos of you and stuff. Ross: Awesome! And you know, I’m gonna jump right into something silly…First of all, I love researching people before I have a call with them.
